You will enjoy the bridge between St. Pete and Bradenton, I-275, just keep your eyes on the road. Peripheral vision will do the sight-seeing. The price is right, $1.50 I think, I have a Sun Pass and it was $1.00 last time I used cash. Lots of places along the way to pull off for beaches and fishing.

beautiful right over the bridge if you drive in the outside Lane you can see some water but I like the inside line because it is really high up Bridge but tourists love to see it and take pictures and sometimes you can see a cruise ship going underneath

As a local you travel this bridge a lot. It is visible from many points on the water. It can close during high winds and it does not have any stopping points once on the bridge.

I always look forward to crossing the skyway on a clear day. From the top, one can see more than 30 miles up to downtown Tampa. The view at night is quite spectacular, too. If you are afraid of heights, however, you may get a little quizy. It's worth the attempt no matter, but if you can get someone else...

The Sunshine Skyway Bridge is an incredible bridge that is huge! Especially when you are driving to the peak you feel as though you are driving over the water. It's a little bit scary at first because of how tall it is however once you get over that little bit of fear it's a smooth drive all the way.
